Kenny Atkinson: When you're one of the final four teams in the NBA, I think you're doing something right
· Yahoo Sports
What are you most proud of this season? Kenny Atkinson: I think we were 17-16 at one point. It looked like the wheels were falling off. Just how we kept it together, with expectations being so high, and we started playing a lot of young guys. We got through that with great leadership, starting with Donovan Mitchell, then Evan Mobley, even before De'Andre Hunter came. Those guys kind of kept the ship afloat. As we got healthier, we really went on some good runs. Listen, success is relative, right? It's all about perspective. We did take a jump. We'd gone to the conference semifinals three years in a row, and this year we made it to the conference finals. I know it wasn't the greatest result, but we kind of ran into a buzzsaw. We could have played better, but we did make a jump. We did improve. There are steps to this thing. It just doesn't happen overnight. When you're one of the final four teams in the NBA, I think you're doing something right. We obviously have the hunger and ambition to do more, so I think it was a successful season on many fronts.
